True quality comes from grace.

I like the fact that our testimony to the world is a testimony of grace, not one of
our religious success. We are just like the others, but we have found grace.
That helps us to face financial challenges. It comforts us in the time of sickness.
It strengthens us in relationships. When volcanic ash gets our way, we have grace.
Our neighbor’s water pipes break , the water floods into our newly
renovated living room, but we have grace.
Does the quality of our testimony matter?
True quality comes from grace.
Words that describe a good quality such as clarity, consistency, balance, truthfulness
are all good measurements for grace.
Grace is our brand.
It’s a supernatural quality that performs well in impossible situations.
It’s not us refusing the deal with the roughness of life. It’s really there,
God’s answer to problems.
To me grace is the greatest evidence of the existence of God.
Goodness, self-sacrifice, forgiveness, generosity cannot be just accidental behavior.
They are clearly the fruit of grace. They come from decisions that people
make because they have tasted the goodness of God.
Grace is fantastic.
